Some things its ok to ignore. Reacting to such darkness from a position of discomfort will only strengthen those absurd ideas because you let the exact same mechanism caused a person to write this to affect you too. When a person is really comfortable in his worldview he won't need to jump to such interpersonal absurd comparison to compensate his epistemical holes. Keep post positively and from a position of strength and show the healthy side of our case (not Bibi, but something else for example), like it doesnt bother you at all. In this way you can make a real change. Even my reaction now is a reaction but I can only obligate to a slow change in the quality of my comments from a realistic view rather than be 0% triggered overnight what isn't realistic.

But did you see the frames when the other side said (I assume this was probably the case) those things too? By the way who stands behind the escalation between the sides in 1920s and 1930s? Or maybe this is actually a chicken and an egg?

I won't argue with you on the fact that this is indeed a hugely difficult reality to Gazans and quite traumatizing to tens of thousands of them.

From top to down: - The numbers shows that (38-15)/15 is a killed ratio of 1.5:1 which is better (not good absolutly of course but my claim is relative) than any other urban war done by western military. - There was one incident when hamas weapon caused Israeli attack to indirectly harm civilians. If you know about more events please add here maybe I miss some but that is what I heard. - Israel accept gays like Europeen countries do when in Gaza they would be executed. You can go to the thread about the support of gay marriage in Israel and read all the detailed there. You make far reaching claims from emotions and unfamiliarity with Israel. Please try to answer with rational evidence.

@zazen Any claim about "genocide in Gaza" has to, at the same time, be addressed to Mosoul and some other cities in Iraq and ask the exact same questions regarding US and Europeen countries that participated in the coalition, because otherwise the critisism isn't fair and hypocrite.

Maybe Ben Gvir and Smotrich wanted that, but I can't see an evidence in reality of acting of the government upon that. Lucky those two have limited power. I agree with you though careful attitude is needed when in such a heated conflict. No desire to argue or to do a competition here just to let you know this isn't what I want. Everyone can think whatever they want. Soon I have time to concentrate I will reply.

How is there a genocide in the current case? Comparing those cases is unjust to my view because the profound differences in the severity between them, despite the psychological mechanism and potential dangers similarity.

To an existential threat? I just don't fully knowledged in ww1 apart that I know they were attacked from all directions and humiliated. but why to compare so different cases, value systems and motivations? When Israelis though to do or done even 0.1% of the severity of the killing, the restriction of freedom to the individual and suffering creating methods the Nazi regime did?

What bothers be here in an additional psychological layer is that when there is one time we can eventually say what we have on our heart after been demonized non stop for 9 months (again I am not justifying Bibi's way in this war, far from that, but I am talking over this now) so you (Rashida) can't for a moment just listen? To show minimal respect to the other side when talks? You must even now to keep with it even in the congress? This is sad and inhumane.

Does richness help to protect against 5 Arab armies when you barely have one?

What was the reason in your opinion? I ask seriously no cynisizm.

Ask yourself why Israel had to become strong?

She only strengthen hamas and preserve the problem with her narrow view and actions. She demonize an entire side just like Ben Gvir do with the Palestinians. How she can expect my side will want to even listen to her when my side's survival concerns and worries aren't interesting her at all? In that sense in what she is different? Is she an honest or fair protestor? I dont think so. In an indirect way she plays into the genocidal desire of the Iranian regime when totally ignoring one half of the equation.

A lof of this is done out of fear and unfamiliarity. Their side has also reponsibility to the way Israelis see them. This is a tango.

She is the Ben Gvir of the opposite edge. Just as poisonous as him.

Lies are used when a person knows he cannot harness truth to his claims.

You are full of love, proportions and moderation.

@Bobby_2021 How do you know North Europeens has devolved or regressed because of the immigrants? hamas caused like half of the population in Israel to somehow regress yes, but the another half only developed and became more green during the 2010s especially. You are invited to research the killed ratio in Gaza by yourself before adopting these trendy mob slogans.

I must say I was surprised. I thought it is going to be an another toxic, one-sided (only republicans oriented) divisive speech like he did in 2015, but I was happy to see this wasn't the case at all this time. His speech was respectful to both sides of the congress and somehow even appealing to both when showing raw deep truths in a very direct way about the Israeli case, and about the importance of the alliance between Israel and America. The downsides though were the absence of the hostages issue and the absence of the expression of the desire for peace he mentioned much more for example in his speech in 1996.

You describe it like people are houses of cards and too sensitive I would say its an exaggaration to the another extreme. People have responsibility to grow themselves to the next nearby level just as they have responsibility to not disturb non-violent others to do so.

Western policies enhance the fundamentalistic motivation, but do not create or responsible for it.

They are nightmare. And roughly 50% of Israelis thinks that too.

+1 ❤️ Thank you. You understand me. By the way the pictures here are always taken by me from my walkings.

I feel she is a good option.
